JOHN H. PORTER AND JOHN HUGH DALY, OF JACKSON, MlCHlGAN.

GASOLINE-VAPOR CONDUCTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,953, dated September 28, 1886,

Application filed March 31, 1856. Serial No. 197.1368. (Nnmotlch) To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that we, JoI-IN H. PORTER and JOHN HUGH DALY, citizens of the United -States, residing at Jackson, in the county of Jackson and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gasoline-Vapor Conductors; and we do doclare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and tothe letters and figures of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

Our invention relates to devices for use in gasoline-stoves, and is intended to carry off the obnoxious vapors and smells which arise from the flames of this class of stoves.

It consists in the novel features hereinafter described, and specifically set forth in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings wehavefull y illustrated our vapor-conductor, Figure 1 being a perspective showing it applied to a gasolinestove, and Fig. 2 being a vertical crosssection of the conductor removed.

Refer ing to the drawings by letter, A represents a gasoline-stove of any ordinary construction. B is the vapor-conductor,whichis constructed of sheet metal, and consists of a back, 0, top D, sides E, and bottom flange, F, all formed from a single piece of sheet metal. The top D is bent downward slightly at its front edge, as shown at D, so as to direct the ascending vapors and products of combustion toward the escape G, secured to the center of the top D and connected to the flue or chimney by a pipe, H. The sides E have their upper edges joined to the end of the top by soldering or any equivalentmeans. They diminish in width toward the bottom, as clearly shown, where the are connected to the bottom 'tlange, F, in a similar manner. This flange F rests upon the rear edge of the stove and is provided .with two or more bolt-holes, J, through which and openings in the top of the stove bolts are passed to secure the condnctor in position.

The advantag s of our device will be readily appreciated. The obnoxious vapors and smells generated by the heat of the stove will be drawn through the escape-flue G and will pass out through the chimney instead of ex panding and permeating the air of the room and building which contains the stove.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to soon re by Letters Patcut, is

The herein shown and described conductor for vapor-stoves, consisting of a single piece of sheet metal formed into the back 0, the top D, provided with a depending trout edge, 1), the bottom or flange F, and the sides E uniting the top and bottom and widening as they recede from the bottom and approach the top, which latter is apertured and provided with an escape-tine, G, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof we attix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN H. PORTER. JOHN HUGH DALY.
